PREFACE. 



1. Words are the creation of mind. With the faculty of speech, man was 
endowed with exalted mental powers, and warm social feelings ; but the thoughts 
of his mind and the feelings of his heart lay hid within him, and could not be 
communicated, till by the creative power of his mind, he formed words to 
express them. Words then are, — the medium of communicating our thoughts 
and feelings, and rendering them audible, — the means by which the knowledge 
and experience of age are added to the store and made the property of the 
young, — the vehicle by which mind is brought into contact with mind, and the 
eternal mind made known ; for, by the written word, the Creator's will is 
revealed to man. 

2. As words were formed to convey not only the thoughts of the mind, but the 
feelings of the heart, they would, in the first production or subsequent alteration 
of a language, naturally take that shape which would best represent the mental 
and physical powers. Those sounds would be selected which were adapted 
to the frame of the organs, and the feelings to be expressed. The consonants 
being the strength, and the vowels the vivifying principle, the life, spirit and 
feeling of words, the predominance of one of these elements or their more 
equable succession, would depend upon the physical constitution. A robust 
conformation of the bodily frame, and great energy of mind, would, therefore, 
naturally express itself in words of corresponding strength and tone. These 
are the features which distinguish the languages of Gothic origin, especially the 
Anglo-Saxon, with its immediate descendant, the modern English, which has the 
strength of iron, with the gleam and sparkling of burnished steel.* 

3. Instead of continuing to associate with the Gothic tribes, nothing but 
ignorance, cruelty, and barbarity, let us ever remember, — that we are indebted 
to them for our strong physical powers, our nervous language, and our unrivalled 
freedom under our glorious constitution, — that they still live in our popular 
traditions, and perpetual discourse. Disgusted by the effeminacy and vices of 
the Romans, they subdued the empire, and became its moral reformers.f We 
may, therefore, well conclude, with the author of the Spirit of Laws : — "What 
ought to recommend the Gothic race, beyond every people upon earth, is, that 
they afforded the great resource to the liberty of Europe, that is, to almost all 
the liberty that is among men. Jornandes, the Goth, calls the north of Europe 
' The Forge of Mankind,' — I should rather call it, the forge of those instru- 
ments which broke the fetters manufactured in the south. It was there, those 
valiant nations were bred, who left their native climes to destroy tyrants and 
liberate slaves,, and to teach men that, nature having made them equal, no reason 
could be assigned for their becoming dependent, but their mutual happiness." 

4. Wherever these tribes appeared, liberty prevailed. They thought and 
acted for themselves. They were free, and loved the language of freedom. 
Where is the Englishman that does not feel his heart beat with conscious pride 
and independence, when he considers his Freedom ? He feels he has a. free 
doom, province or jurisdiction, in which none dare interfere, — he is entirely 
free, — free to enjoy, and do all the good of which his benevolent nature is 
capable. How tame is the Romanised liberty, in comparison with the old

IV PREFACE. 

Gothic, Germanic and English Freedom ! With boasted liberty superficially on 
the lip, there is often licentiousness, and consequent oppression, — but we feel 
Freedom to be more deeply seated, even in the heart : — here Freedom is not only 
enjoyed, but cordially permitted, and extended to all. Tbis is true, heartfelt 
Freedom, and we derived it from our Anglo-Saxon forefathers. Every English- 
man who glories in the vigour of his Father land, — who would clearly under- 
stand, and feel the full force of his Mother tongue, ought to study Anglo- 
Saxon, as this is the immediate and copious source of the English language. 
It is estimated that in English there are about 38,000 words. Of these, about 
23,000, or more than five-eighths, are of Anglo-Saxon origin. Not only in the 
number of words, but in their peculiar character and importance, as well as their 
influence on grammatical forms, it must be universally acknowledged that 
Anglo-Saxon constitutes its principal strength. At the same time that our chief 
peculiarities of structure and idiom are essentially Anglo-Saxon, from the same 
copious fountain have sprung, — words designating the greater part of objects of 
sense, — the terms which occur most frequently in discourse, and which recall 
the most vivid conceptions, as, Sun, moon, earth, fire, spring, day, night, heal, 
cold, sea, land, etc., — words expressive of the dearest connexions, the strongest 
and most powerful feelings of nature, from our earliest days; as, Mother, 
father, sister, brother, wife, home, childhood, play, etc. — the language of busi- 
ness, of the shop, the market, the street, the farm, and of every day life, — our 
national proverbs, — our language of humour, satire, and colloquial pleasantry, — 
the most energetic words we can employ whether of kindness or invective, — 
in short, words expressive of our strongest emotions, and actions, in all the 
most stirring scenes of life, from the cradle to the grave. Every speaker or 
writer then, who would not only convince the understanding, but touch the 
heart, must avoid Latinised expressions, and adopt Anglo-Saxon, which from 
early use and the dearest associations excite emotion, and affect the heart. 
Though a word of Latin or Anglo-Saxon origin may be equally well understood, 
the one will impart the most vivid, and the other the most frigid conception of 
the meaning. The difference is that of the winter's and summer's sun. The 
light of the former may be as clear and dazzling as that of the latter, but the 
genial warmth is gone.* 

5. This view of the language will clearly shew its importance to every English- 
man, but a short account of the origin of the present inhabitants of England, 
will prove that we owe our physical vigour, yea, our very being, as well as our 
expressive language to the Gothic tribes, the Jutes, the Saxons and Angles. — 
The Saxons, like all the Teutoni or Germans, were of oriental origin. They 
may have derived their appellation from the Sakai or Sacee, who probably gave 
the name of Sakasina to part of Armenia. The Saxons were as far westward as 
the Elbe in the days of Ptolemy, a.d. 90; and, therefore, in all probability, 
amongst the first Germanic or Teutonic tribes, that visited Europe. Their 
situation between the Elbe and the Eyder in the south of Denmark, seems to 
indicate that they moved amongst the foremost columns of the vast Teutonic 
emigration. These tribes, the Jutes,, the Saxons and Angles, which successively 
obtained settlements in Britain, will only claim particular attention. 

6. The Jutes [Iotas] gained the first possessions. Hengist and Horsa, two 
brothers, from Jutland in Denmark, arrived in three small ships at Ebbs-fleet, on 
the Isle of Thanet, in a.d. 449. f These Jutes had this island assigned to them 
as a reward for assisting the Britons against the Picts and Scots. They sub- 
sequently obtained possession of Kent, the Isle of Wight, and part of Hampshire.

PREFACE. V 

7. The Saxons had a very extensive territory. The first Saxon kingdom was 
established by Ella in a.d. 491, under the name of the South-Saxons [SirS- 
Seaxe], now including Sussex, and part of Surrey. — In 494, another powerful 
colony arrived under Cerdic ; and, being West of the other, they were called 
West-Saxons [West-Seaxe] : they occupied Hants, Berks, Wilts, Dorset, Somerset, 
Devon, and part of Cornwall. — A third Saxon kingdom, in a.d. 527, was planted 
in Essex, Middlesex, and the south 'of Hertfordshire, under the name of East- 
Saxons [East-Seaxe], hence the modern word, Essex. 

8. The Angles [Engle], from Anglen, the country between Flensburg and the 
Schley, in the south-east of the Duchy of Sleswick in Denmark, settled about 
a.d. 527, in East Anglia, containing Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridge, and part of 
Bedfordshire. — Ida, in a.d. 547, began to establish himself in Bernicia, compre- 
hending Northumberland and the south of Scotland between the Tweed and the 
Firth of Forth.— About a.d. 559 Ella conquered Deira [Deora msegS] lying 
between the Humber and the Tweed, including the counties of York, Durham, 
Northumberland, Cumberland, Westmoreland, and Lancashire. — Mercia was 
formed into an independent state by Crida, about a.d. 586, bounded by the 
Thames, Humber, and Severn, and comprehended the counties of Chester, 
Derby, Nottingham, Lincoln, Northampton, Rutland, Huntingdon, the north of 
Beds, Hertford, Warwick, Bucks, Oxon, Worcester, Hereford, Gloucester, Staf- 
ford and Salop. 

9. Thus, it appears that, 1 Jute, 3 Saxon, and 4 Angle, altogether 8 king- 
doms were established in Britain by the year 586, and that the Angles and 
Saxons bore the leading and chief part in the expeditions, they, therefore, when 
settled in this country, were collectively called Anglo-Saxons. The Angles 
[Engle] were the most numerous, and so predominated as to call the land of 
their adoption Engla land, the Eugles' or Angles' land, contracted into England. 

10. Anglo-Saxon, that is Angle, Engle or English-Saxon, is the language of 
the Piatt, Low, Flat, or North part of Germany, brought into this country by the 
Jutes, the Angles, and Saxons, and modified and written in England. Those, 
who remained in their old locality on the continent, had the name of Old-Saxons, 
and their language Old-Saxon, but those settled in Britain were properly desig- 
nated Anglo-Saxons, and their language, perfected and written in England, was 
called Anglo-Saxon. We are indebted to King Alfred, and the numerous 
writings of Alfric for the best specimens of Anglo-Saxon, the language spoken 
and written in England in their times. The early poems on Beowulf, and the 
poetry of Caedmou have an anterior date. Many Anglo-Saxon works have been 
published* to which continental writers have easy access, but much still remains 
to be printed before the erudite Germans and Danes can have the same advan- 
tages, which are offered to us in an easy access to our rich manuscript stores. 

11. Those who desire to trace the origin of Anglo-Saxon, or to compare it 
with cognate dialects, must first go to the 01d-Saxon,f the Low-German spoken 
by the continental race, remaining in the localities from which the Jutes, the 
Angles, and Saxons migrated to England. There is not any written specimen 
of the language spoken by these Old-Saxons; but, in a collateral dialect, there 
is a fine poem of the ninth century, called Heliand, J Healer or Saviour, Some 
of the Low German race migrated to England and were denominated Anglo, or

English Saxons, others passed to the lower Rhine and settled there. This Heliand 
is written in the dialect of these Rhenish Old Saxons, it is, therefore, a sister 
dialect, and of the first importance in illustrating Anglo-Saxon. Recourse may 
then be had to other works in Piatt, or Low-German.* The High-German, the 
Icelandic, Danish, Norwegian and Swedish may then be consulted, and traced 
to their oriental origin. None of the German or Scandinavian dialects have 
writings of an earlier date than the Anglo-Saxons, except the Germanic in the 
Moeso-Gothic Gospels of Ulphilas, a.d. 370, and some Icelandic. As a 
zealous attempt has been made to trace the origin and history of these languages, 
in the preface to " A Dictionary of the Anglo-Saxon Language,"f and now pub^ 
lished as a separate work, J it is unnecessary to proceed with any further par- 
ticulars.

works on the subject must be given, with a reference to the Glossaries and 
Indexes which have been found useful.

PREFACE. VU 

13. The present volume has no higher aim than to give in English a com- 
pendious explanation of Anglo-Saxon words. It is not, as was first intended, 
a mere abridgment of the large Dictionary mentioned in the preceding para- 
graph, but almost entirely a new work, containing, in one alphabetical order, a 
great number of words hitherto omitted. In this compendious Dictionary, and 
in The Origin of the English, etc.* will be found, at a very moderate price, all 
that is most practical and valuable, in the thick and expensive octavo, with a 
great accession of new words and matter ; some of which may be seen under 
B6c-land, Folc-land, Tun, etc. The great object has been to supply, in this 
Compendious Dictionary, a cheap and useful manual for the study of Anglo- 
Saxon. 

14. Though the writings of the celebrated Dr. James Grimm, and his learned 
countrymen, with their disciples in England, have been carefully examined, and 
the lexicographical arrangements of Graff, f Leo, % etc. been investigated, they 
have only been followed where they appeared practical. Indeed, while there has 
been, in the progress of this Dictionary, the most earnest wish, and constant 
exertion to examine all that has been written, and to go into the matter as 
deeply as possible, no pains have been spared to bring the result to the surface, 
and make it tend to practical utility. To render it a comprehensive practical 
manual, a plan has been adopted to combine the advantages of an etymologi- 
cal classification, without materially departing from the simplicity and facility 
of the usual alphabetical arrangement. The radical word is first given, with its 
grammatical inflections and different meanings, then follow the compounds and 
derivatives, indicated by Her. The Prefixes have a hyphen [-,] after them : the 
Postfixes, arranged alphabetically, have a dash [. — ] before them, and their 
meanings attached. The chief compounds are thus brought into immediate con- 
nexion with the primitive ; and, thus, the real, the etymological signification is 
at once evident, and the explanations very much abridged. The dash . — ena- 
bles the eye instantly to catch the words, in their alphabetical order, almost as 
easily as if each word commenced a line. This plan produces so great a saving 
of space as very much to diminish the size and consequently the price of the 
book. — This is the general arrangement; the details follow. 

15. Words. — It was originally intended to exclude all impure Anglo-Saxon 
words, but it was subsequently found desirable to take a wider range ; and that 
for general purposes, this Compendious Dictionary might supply the place of 
the large and expensive works of Somner, Lye, etc. many words, for which no 
other authority could be found, are given with the orthography, inflection, and 
meaning on their responsibility. Some impure words are taken from the 
Anglo-Saxon Chronicle with their date affixed, and others in the Northumbrian 
dialect from the Rushworth Gloss, and the Durham-Book, § but their age and 
impurity are easily ascertained by the letters of reference. 

16. Orthography. — The important aid to be derived from the erudite la- 
bours of Professor Rask and Grimm, as well as of those who adopt their system, 
has. constantly been kept in view. The orthography of the numerous words taken 
from the works of these celebrated men, and of their followers, Professor Leo, 
J. M. Kemble, Esq. M.A., B. Thorpe, Esq. etc. is adopted, when corroborated 
by Anglo-Saxon authors, in other cases their names are cited as the authority. 
Though that orthography is adopted which has the sanction of the best authors, 
yet the principal variations, in the literal expression of a word, are added in the 
order in which they differ from what is deemed the correct spelling. No fancy

Till PREFACE. 

or presumption has been permitted, but all authors have been allowed to present 
their words in their own dress, without any desire to dictate the mode in which 
it is now presumed they ought to have written : the determination has been 
to give what they really wrote, and not what it is presumed they ought to have 
written. Should it be objected, that words of unusual orthography or impossi- 
ble forms have been introduced, it is deemed a sufficient excuse that they have 
been found so written. Mr. Halbertsma* is of opinion that it is of great 
importance to note the difference in the spelling of words, as we thus see the 
difficulty which the writer had in determining what letters he ought to use to 
give the proper sound of the word. Unable to satisfy himself, in groping about 
for the proper letters, he would naturally interchange those that had a kindred 
sound. The proper letter may generally be determined, by assuming an inter- 
mediate one, between those he employs.f 

17. Accent. — Mr. Halbertsma pointedly asks — 

" Is not the English tongue, as to its descent and substance, still a genuine daughter of the 
Anglo-Saxon ? Does she not bear, to this very day, some features of her fair mother, notwith- 
standing her foreign ornaments? Do not many Anglo-Saxon vowels still exist in Yorkshire, 
in Scotland, and in other provincial dialects of England? May not the English alone boast of 
having preserved the true sound of the old etch, [b th] which has disappeared from the whole 
Continent of Europe, so as not to leave the means of forming a faint idea of the sound of this 
consonant, without the aid of English ? Why should we consult only the Gothic, or what is 
still more remote from Anglo-Saxon, the Icelandic ? Why should that which is unknown be 
sought amongst the unknown, rather than in that which is known in the remains of the old 
sounds of the language? .... I presume that no source can shed so much light on the pronuncia- 
tion and other peculiarities of the Anglo-Saxon, as the English. "J 

These significant queries and just remarks have had due weight in the appli- 
cation of the accent in this work, where it is only used to denote the long 
vowels. Though much care has been taken in accenting the vowels, it is feared 
that errors will be discovered, especially on a subject like this, where the best 
authorities are not unfrequently in direct opposition. § 

18. Permutation. — The observations on the permutation of letters may 
seem to trench on the province of grammar : they are made to account for the 
changes in words, the irregular parts of which are given in this Dictionary, and 
referred to their themes ; as Daga, dagas, v. Dseg. v. also M. 

19. Inflections. — No pains have been spared to ascertain and clearly ex- 
press the precise grammatical inflections. Nouns have their genitive cases and 
genders, and verbs their principal tenses with their irregularities given, so as to 
save the trouble of referring to any peculiar grammatical system. It has been 
said, || that nouns ending in a single consonant, after a short vowel, double the 
last consonant in declining ; but as a double letter is often found at the end of 
Anglo-Saxon words, it would perhaps be better to allow such words to retain 
their double letters, as they often do in this Dictionary. Thus the origin of 
double letters at the end of English words, would be seen, at the same time that 
the Anglo-Saxon declension would be rendered more clear ; as, Bill, es ; n. A 
bill. — Gelicness, e ; /. Likeness. 

20. Gender. — The terminating syllables have required great attention, as 
the gender and declension are generally determined by the form of the last 
syllable. It seems to be a general rule, that words, denoting things without life 
with the termination of the name of males, are masculine,^ and those taking 
the endings of female names, are feminine. It has often been very difficult to 
discover the gender ; and, after much research, the result has not unfrequently

PREFACE. IK 

been doubtful. The best authors have been followed, for inferior writers very 
often confuse the genders. 

21. Meaning. — The meaning of the Anglo-Saxon is given in English words, 
which most resemble Anglo-Saxon ; and, for this purpose, there has not been any 
scruple in using some obsolete words and modern provincial terms. The Anglo- 
Saxon and English words are often identical in signification ; one word clearly 
defining the other renders the explanation as brief as possible ; as, Dseg, 1. " A 
" day. 2. The time of a man's life." The radical or original signification is 
placed first, the other meanings are then arranged in that order which appeared 
most accordant with the association of ideas ; as, Feoh, " 1. Cattle, living ani- 
" mak.— Cattle being used in early times as a medium of exchange ; hence, 
" 2. Money, value, price, hire, stipend, fee, reward. — As property chiefly con- 
" sisted of cattle ; bence, 3. Goods, property, riches, wealth." See also, Feorh, 
Fyrd, Mor, Tun, etc. — In compound words it has generally been deemed suffi- 
cient to give the literal sense of each part, but where the composition could not 
be mistaken, being closely allied to the English, and the compound could be 
clearly expressed by one word, this brevity has been preferred ; as, Dseg-candel 
The sun, the literal meaning, The light or candle of day, being evident. In 
words taken from old Glossaries, with only a Latin meaning, there was no alter- 
native but to translate the Latin into English, and when possible, verifying the 
signification by the analogy and derivation of cognate words in other Germanic 
Languages, especially the Old-Saxon. When the signification of the corrupt 
Latin could not be discovered, the Latin has been retained, with the hope that 
others may be more successful in discovering the meaning. 

22. Phrases. — Immediately after the general signification, follow the idio- 
matical expressions and phrases, with a translation; as, Don, gedon To do, &c. 
Lif don To live. — Don to witanne To do to wit, to make to know or understand. 

23. Derivatives. — The compounds and derivatives immediately follow the 
explanation of the primitives. They occupy very little space, and the plan is so 
simple that scarcely a word of explanation is necessary. — The prefixes are 
naturally placed first ; thus, Dseg A day, etc. — Der. M'v-, aldor-, deirS-, dom-, 
etc. that is, JE'rdaeg, aldordseg, dea^dseg, etc. the meanings of which will be 
found in the alphabetical order. Then follow the other derivatives, separated by 
a colon, as : dseges, an-, forS- ; that is A'ndseges, forSdseges. — Lastly, come the

es ; n. The sun. — dse'd, e ,• /. etc. See also, Beran, Cunnan, Don, etc. 

24. Such is a minute detail of the plan proposed, but it is painfully manifest, 
that, while it was comparatively easy to arrange a plan, it has been very difficult, 
especially with failing sight and much physical debility, to carry it into exe- 
cution with any thing like satisfaction. While a deep consciousness of liability 
to err has produced a constant care to avoid a dictatorial and dogmatical spirit, 
there has been an equally constant and firm resolve to seek for truth, and to 
follow it, whether favourable or adverse to previous opinions. In short, 
the writer can conscientiously affirm, notwithstanding the iui perfections of the 
work, that no efforts of his have been wanting to make it as complete as was in 
his power ; and, if he may be allowed to adopt the words of King Alfred, written 
on another subject, he would say — " Him ne wite gif he rihtlicor ongite Jjonne he 
" mihte : for)>am)>e aelc mon sceal, be his andgites mse^e and be his aemettan, 
" sprecan )>aet he sprecS, and don pset jjset hede^."*

A COMPENDIOUS 

ANGLO-SAXON AND ENGLISH DICTIONARY. 



A 

1. The short or unaccented 
Anglo-Saxon a, is contained 
in the following words, which 
are represented by modern 
English terms of the same 
import, having the sound of 
a in man ; as, Can, man, 
span, band, land, sand, 
dranc, cat, camp, etc. 

2. The short a is often found 
in the final syllables of in- 
flections, -a, -an, -as, -a$, 
etc. It generally appears 
in the radix before a doubled 
consonant, asSwamm^/wrt- 
gus j wann wan — or two 
different consonants, as mp, 
mb, nt, nc, ng, etc. — Camp, 
lamb, dranc, lang, etc. 

3. The radicalshorta, can only 
stand before a single conso- 
nant, and st, sc, when this 
single consonant, and these 
double letters are again fol- 
lowed, in the inflections, by 
a, o, u, in nouns ; a, o, u, e, 
in adjectives ; and a,o,u,ia 
in verbs; as Dagas,daga,from 
daeg, fatu from faet, gastas 
from gaest, ascas from aesc ; 
: — smales, smale, smalost, 
smalu, from smael Small ; 
— lates latu, latost from laet 
Late: — Stapan, faran, wa- 
fian. Grimm's Ueut. Oram, 
vol. I. p.-i-Zi, 2nd edit. 1822. 
— In other cases, the short 
or unaccented <s is used in- 
stead of a. See M in its 
alphabetical order. 

4. The remarks in the last pa- 
ragraph are of great impor- 
tance in declining words ; 
for, monosyllables, ending 
in a single consonant, in st, 
or sc, reject the e from the 
short oe, and leave the short 
a alone, whenever, in de- 
clining, the consonant, or 
consonants happen to be 
followed by a,o, u in nouns, 
and a, o, u, e, in adjectives. 

5. It must be remembered 
then, that a short a cannot 
stand in a word. — (1.) When 
it ends in a single consonant, 
that is, when no inflection 
of a, o, u in nouns, follow, 
as in Staef. — (2.) When 



in nouns a single consonant 
is followed by e, as Staefes, 
staefe, waeter.— (3.) When 
the word has any other 
double consonants besides 
st, sc, though followed by a, 
o, u ; as, Craeft, craefta, 
aegru n pi. of aeg. — (4.) In 
contracted words, when <e 
is not in the last syllable ; 
as JEcer, pi. aeceras, aece- 
rum, contracted aecras, 
aecrum. 

6. The long Anglo-Saxon d is 
accented, and words con- 
taining this long or accented 
a, are now represented by 
English terms, with the 
vowel sounded like o in no, 
and bone. — The following 
words have either the same 
or an analogous meaning, 
both in English and Anglo- 
Saxon. — Ham Home, an 
One, ban Bone, han, stan, 
sar, rap, lar, gast, wrat, — 
Sometimes the accented or 
long d is represented in 
English by oa ; as, A'c An 
oak, gad A goad, lad, rad, 
brad, tade, fam, lam, sape, 
ar, bar, har, bat, gat, ata, 
aS, la<5. — Occasionally d 
becomes oe in English ; as, 
Da A doe, fa A foe, ra, 
ta, wa ; — but the oe in 
these words has the sound 
of o in no. The same may 
be said of oa in boar. — 
Hence it appears that the 
Anglo-Saxon d is repre- 
sented by the modern 
English o, oa, and oe, which 
have the sound of o in no, 
or bone : as Rad Rode (p. 
of ride), rad A road, and 
da A doe. — Deut. Gram. 
von Jacob Grimm, vol. I. p. 
358— 397 ,etc. 3rd edit. 1 840. 

7. The long a is often changed 
into je, as Lar Lore, laeran 
To teach. 

8. -a, added to words, denotes 
A person, an agent, or ac- 
tor, hence, — All nouns end- 
ing in a are masculine, and 
make the g. in an ; as from 
Cum Come [thou], cuma A 
person who comes ,or a guest; 

11 



swic Deceive [thou], swica 
A traitor ; worht Wrought, 
wyrhta^l workman, a wright; 
foregeng Foregoing, fore- 
genga A foregoer; bead or 
gebed^l supplication, apray- 
ing, beada a person who sup- 
plicates or prays; bytl A bee- 
tle or hammer, by tla A ham- 
merer, a builder. — Some 
words, denoting inanimate 
things, end in -a; and these 
words, havins the same de- 
clension as those which sig- 
nify Persons or actors, are 
also masculine ; as Steorra, 
an ; m. A star: gewuna, an; 
m. A custom, habit. 
A-, Is an inseparable prefix, 
denotingnegation ,deteriora- 
tion, or opposition, as From, 
out, away ; thus Awendan 
To turn from, to subvert, 
from wendan To turn ; a- 
modOutoforioithoutmind, 
mad ; adon To do away, to 
banish, composed of a. from, 
d6n to do, v. /E. — The pre- 
fixed A- does not always 
appear to alter the significa- 
tion ; in this case, it is ge- 
nerally omitted in modern 
English words derived im- 
mediately from Saxon; thus, 
Aberan To bear; abrecan 
To break ; abitan To bite. 
The prefixed A-, however, 
generally adds some little 
force, or intensity, to the 
original signification of the 
word to which it is joined. 
— A-, be-, for-, se-, and to-, 
are often indifferently and 
interchangeably prefixed to 
verbs, especially to perfect 
tenses, and to perfect par- 
ticiples, as well as to verbal 
nouns. If a word, there- 
fore, cannot be found under 
A-, it may besought for un- 
der be-, for-, ge-, to-, or 
rather under the first letter 
that remains after rejecting 
these prefixes. — A-bacanTo

3. In the declension of mono-

D. 



D is sometimes changed into 
3, as snidan, sniSan To cut. 
D and t are often interchanged, 
as mette met, for metde. 

Nouns ending in d or t are 
generally feminine, as Ge- 
byrd, e ; /. Birth : Miht, e ; 
f. Might, power. 

A word, terminating with 
-ed, -d, indicates that a per- 
son or thing is furnished or 
provided with that which is 
expressed by the root, and is 
usually considered as a per- 
fect participle, although uo 
verb may exist to which it 
can be assigned ; such words 
have, therefore, generally ge 
prefixed to them ; as Ge- 
hyrned Horned; Gesceod 
Shod, Rsk. 

The perfect participle ends 
in -ed, -od, but when the 
letters t, p, c, h, x, and s, 
after another consonant, go 
before the infinite -an, the 
vowel before the terminating 
-d is not only rejected, but 
d is changed into t; as from 
Dyppan To dip would be re- 
gularly formed dypped dip- 
ped, contracted into dyppd, 
dyppt, and dypt dipped.

1. Anglo-Saxon words, con- 
tuining the short or unac- 
cented vowel e, are often re- 
presented by modernEnglish 
words of the same meaning, 
having the sound of e in net, 
met, fed, hell: as, Nett, 
bedd, weddian, hell, well, 
denn, fenn, webb, ende. 

2. The short e generally comes 
— 1st. Before a double con- 
sonant ; as, Nebb, weccan, 
tellan, weddian: — 2Ij. Be- 
fore any two consonants : as, 
Twentig, sendan, beinan. 
31y. Before one or two con- 
sonants, when followed by a 
long or final vowel : as, Sele, 
henne, 

3. Words containing the long 
or accented Anglo-Saxon i, 
are very frequently repre- 
sented by English terms of 
the same signification, with 
the sound of e in meet, feed, 
heel : as, Metan, fet, swet, 
te5, f6dan, hedan, med, hel, 
r6c, cwen. ges. 

4. The long, or accented e, is 
used at the end of words : 
as, be ; and before the single 
consonants, I, m, n, r, s, t, d, 
<5, e, a, and/; as, Stelan, 
hel, beran, fet, hedan, cwe- 
<5an, specan. 

-e, in the termination of nouns, 
denotes a person; as, Hyrde, 



E AD 

jes ; to. A shepherd, from 
liyrdan to guard. The vowel 
-e is also used to form nouns 
denoting inanimate objects, 
asCyle, es; to. Cold ;cwyde, 
es; m. a saying, testament: 
brvce, es ; to. A breach : 
wlite, es ; m. beauty. These 
are mostly derived from 
verbs, and are masculine, but 
when derived from adjectives 
they are feminine, as Riht- 
wise, an ; f. Justice. 
-e is the termination of deri- 
vative adjectives; as, Wyrfce 
Worthy, from wurS worth : 
for<5genge forthcoming, in- 
creasing. 
-e is also the usual letter by 
which adverbs are formed 
from adjectives ending in a 
consonant; as,Kthterightly, 
soSlice truly, yfele badly.

G. 

When g is the last radical let- 
ter of an Anglo-Saxon word, 
and follows a vowel or an r, 
it is often changed into h, 
but then, the g is resumed, 
when followed by a syllable ; 
as, Beah a garland; g. — 
-beages : d. beage ; pi. bea- 
gas. — Wah a wall; g. wa- 
ges. — Burh a town; g. burge. 
— Beorh a hill : g. beorges. 
— G is always inserted be- 
tween the vowels ie, making 
ige. Thus, from lufian to 
love, are formed ic lufige I 
love, lufigende loving, and 
notlufie,orlufiende. In Eng- 
lish words, directly formed 
from the Anglo-Saxon, g is 
often changed into y ; as, 
Gear a year, Daeg a day ; 
dagas days.

sometimes forms a sort of

sometimes gives an active 
signification, like a preposi-

verb in English, as, neuter, 
to laugh; active, to laugh 
at, deride; and then forms 
verbs out of substantives ; 
as, getimbrian to build. It 
often seems void of significa- 
tion ; as, gelic like ; gesund 
sound, healthy. In verbs, it 
seems sometimes to be a 
mere augment and to be pre- 
fixed to all the imperfects, 
not, as in German, to the

changes the signification 
from literal to figurative ; as,

1. The short or unaccented i 
had the sound of i in fin, tin, 
as will be evident from the fol- 
lowing Anglo - Saxon words, 
which have the same meaning 
in English, as in Saxon : — Tin, 
fin, dim, fine, sincan, winnan, 
spinnan,swimman, scip, lippa,

accented i had the sound of i 
in tine, fine, in these cognate 
words: — Tine, findan, win, 
rim, die, lie, wif, tinia, swin, 
hwil. 

3. The verbal termination 
-ian,orwithaconsonant before 
the i, -cian, -gian, -nian, -sian, 
is the most simple and univer- 
sal. It is added to various parts 
ofspeech,but especially to nouns 
and adjectives. These verbs al- 
most always make the p. ode, 
andpjo.od.thus: pen.4 servant, 
Jjenian ; p. ode ; pp. od. To 
serve. — Waeter water, waterian 
To moisten. — Halig,halgHbfa/, 
balgian To hallow. — Sar Sore, 
sargianTo grieve. — Willa Will, 
desire, wilnian To desire. — 
Claen Clean, claensian To 
cleanse. — U't Out, utian To 
put out. 

4. Verbs thus formed from 
adjectives, are generally neu- 
ter, but they are made active 
by prefixing ge-. — as, Lytl 
Little, lytlian To become lit- 
tle, gelytlian To diminish: 
Micel, mycel, micl Great, mic- 
lian To become great, to grow,

To ; prep. d. To, towards, for, 
in, at, from. — To is never 
used before verbs in the infi- 
nitive mood, as in the present 
English ; but when to is put 
before a verb, it seems to 
convert the verb into a noun, 
and to govern it in the d. 
doubling the n, because the 
preceding vowel is short. 
This is what is oftsn called 
a gerund ; but even in Latin 
the </eri/«dsamandi,amando, 
amandum, are merely the g. 
d. ac. qfamandus.

u 

The unaccented or short u in 
Anglo-Saxon, had most pro- 
bably the sound of u in butt, 

dun, as the following Anglo- 
Saxon words, having the 
same meaning in English as 
in Saxon, will testify. — 
Butt, cud, dun, dustig, 
munc, nunne, bus, unbin- 
dan, up, us. 
The accented or long ft had 
the sound of ou, or ow, in 
about, foul, house, down, 
now, as will be seen by these 
examples, in which the 
Saxon words are represented 
by English terms of the 
same signification. — Abu- 
tan, ful, hu, hus, mus, inu$, 
mi, tun, bu, ure. 

Eo are sometimes used for 
u ; as, sweord, swurd : and 
y' for u ; as, swytol, swutol. 
In later times, u was em- 
ployed for f, and v; as, 
lime, Ivfe, Dauid, David. 

A very few nouns ending in 
u, are masculine or neuter, 
but they are mostly femi- 
nine, and form the names of 
qualities from adjectives, as, 
Haetu, e ; /. heat ; Lagu, e; 
f. A law, v. -o, in O.

Wer, were, es ; m. A fine for 
slaying a man, the price or 
value of a man's life. Every 
man was valued at a certain 
sum, which was called his 
wfr, and whoever took his 
life was punished by having 
to pay this w&r to the family 
or relations of the deceased 
The wer was therefore the 
penalty by which his safety 
was guarded and his crimes 
prevented or punished. If 
he violated certain laws, it 
was his legal mulct; if he 
were himself attacked, it was 
the penalty inflicted on 
others. Hence it became the 
measure and mark of a man's 
personal rank and conse- 
quence, because its amount 
was exactly regulated by his 
condition in life— Wer- borh,

In expressing the sounds of th, 
the Anglo-Saxon orthogra- 
phy was more consistent than 
the present English. We 
now use th to represent two 
sounds, as heard iu the words 
thing and this : the Anglo- 
Saxons, with greaterproprie- 
ty, used two distinct charac- 
ters to denote these two se- 
parate sounds. The hard or 
sharp sound of th heard in 
thing is represented in Anglo- 
Saxon by p,]pth; and the 
soft or flat sound, as found in 
this, soothe, is denoted by 
8 dth. p or p th, repre- 
senting the hard or sharp 
sound, is used in Anglo- 
Saxon at the beginning of 
words and syllables ; as, ping

p EG , 

king,.4 thane, nobleman, the 
Lord of a Manor, who had 
power from the Crown of 
holding a court.— A king's 
Thane, an Anglo-Saxon no- 
bleman, was inferior in rank 
to an eorl and ealdorman ; 
he was afterwards denomi- 
nated a baron. — There was 
an inferior Thane in the 
Conqueror's time, called a 
knight, who attended the 
king's Thane or Baron. The 
rank of a Thane, as well as 
the other titles of dignity 
among the A.-S., was not 
inherited, but was personal, 
hence it was attainable by 
all, even by the servile ; but, 
before any one could be ele- 
vated to the dignity of an 
inferior Thane, he must be 
in possession of five hides of 
his own land, a church, a 
kitchen, a bell-house, a ju 
dicial seat at the burgh-gate, 
and a seat in the witena ge 
mot. Whoever by his in- 
dustry and talent obtained 
these, became a Thane by 
right. — boren Thane born,

Philology and Early English Literature. 

A Dictionary of Archaic and Provincial Words, Obsolete Phrases, 

Proverbs, and Ancient Customs, from the reign of Edward I. By JAMES ORCHARD HALLIWELL, F.R.S., 
F.S.A., &c. 2 vols. 8vo, containing upwards of 1000 pages, closely printed in double columns, cloth, 21. 2s, 
This work, which has occupied the Editor some years, is now completed ; it contains above 50,000 words (embodying 
all the known scattered glossaries of the English language) forming a complete key for the reader of the works of our 
old Poets, Dramatists, Theologians, and other authors whose works abound with allusions, of which explanations are 
not to be found in ordinary Dictionaries and books of reference. Most of the principal Archaisms are illustrated by 
examples selected from early inedited MSS. and rare books, and by far the greater portion will be found to be original 
authorities. 

" This promises to be a very useful work, and is evidently the result of extensive research, and of great labour 
judiciously applied. The want of a work of this description has long been felt, and several attempts have 
been made to supply the deficiency, but for some reason or other they have all hitherto failed. The Glossary 
of Archdeacon Nares is not only imperfect, but professedly restricted to a comparatively narrow scope, 
embracing terms used by the writers chiefly of the Elizabethan era ; it is now, besides, a rare and costly book. 
Boucher's Glossary miscarried because it was begun in an inconvenient form, and on too expensive a scale. 
The work now before us, of which the first two parts alone have been published, appears to be much more 
complete than Boucher's, and has the advantage of being printed in a convenient form for reference, while its 
price is very moderate. It forms a most comprehensive Glossary to all our Old English writers, from the 
beginning of the fourteenth century to the time of the Stuarts, including the earlier Chroniclers, the writings 
of Wycliffe, and a long range of Poets, from Piers Ploughman, Chaucer, Gower, Lydgate, &c, to Spenser 
and his contemporaries, with Shakespeare and the Dramatists of that age. In addition to the obsolete portion 
of our language, this work may be said to be a complete Dictionary of the local dialects of the present day, 
and is one which will be an acceptable addition to every library." — Morning Herald. 
" Mr. Halliwell is, we must acknowledge, as well qualified, by industry, ability, and previous study, to be the editor 
as any man living. We could indeed easily name a dozen persons, each of whom would be better qualified for 
particular departments, but not one who, including the whole range embraced by the title would have the 
ability and energy to go through all the drudging duties of the office more satisfactorily. It is a work, 
however, that, in the first instance, must be imperfect. We hold, therefore, that every English scholar should 
have an interleaved copy, that he may contribute a something towards improving a second edition. The first 
number appears to have been carefully compiled; but we are not inclined to seek very curiously for faults in 
a work of such obvious difficulty, when, even if it be imperfect, it cannot fail to be useful. "—Athenaeum.

VERNON, B.A., Oxon. 12mo, doth, 5s. 6d. 
The student is furnished with a cheaper, easier, more comprehensive, and not less trustworthy guide to this 
tongue, than has hitherto been placed within his reach, 

"The author of this Guide seems to have made one step in the right direction, by compiling what may be pro- 
nounced the best work on the subject hitherto published in England." — Athenteum. 
" Mr. Vernon is a laboriously accurate Anglo-Saxon scholar, as is seen in his attention to the quantity of words ; 
a branch of Anglo-Saxon grammar in which later scholars have done much by comparing the forms of roots as 
they are found in the diffeient Teutonic dialects." — Gent's Mag. for Feb.

translation; Fragment on Popular Science from the Early English Metrical Lives of the Saints, [the earliest piece

" Besides the curious specimens of the dramatic style of Middle-Age Latinity, Mr. Wright has given two compo- 
sitions in the Narrative Elegiac Verse (a favorite measure at that period), in the Comcedia Babionis and 
the Geta of Vitalis Blesensis, which form a link of connexion between the Classical and Middle-age Literature ; 
some remarkable Satirical Rhymes on the people of Norfolk, written by a Monk of Peterborough, and 
answered in the same style by John of St. Omer; and lastly, some sprightly and often graceful songs, 
from a MS. in the Arundel Collection, which afford a very favorable idea of the Lyric Poetry of our clerical 
forefathers." — Gentleman's Mag. 



The Early History of Free- 
masonry in England, Illustrated by an English Poem 
of the XlVth Century, with Notes. By J. O. HALLI- 
WELL. Post 8vo, Second Edition, with a fac- 
simile of the original MS. in the British Museum, cloth, 
2s. 6d. 
" The interest which the curious poem of which this 
publication is chiefly composed has excited, is proved 
by the fact of its having been translated into Ger- 
man, and of it having reached a second edition, 
which is not common with such publications. Mr. 
Halliwell has carefully revised the new edition, and 
increased its utility by the addition of a complete and 
correct glossary." — Literary Gazette. 

Torrent of Portugal ; an English 

Metrical Romance, noio first published, from an unique

Library at Manchester. Edited by J. O. HALLI-

Weber, and Ellis's publications, 5s. 
" This is a valuable and interesting addition to our list 
of early English metrical romances, and an indispen- 
sable companion to the collections of Ritson, Weber, 
and Ellis." — Literary Gazette. 



"A literary curiosity, and one both welcome and ser- 
viceable to the lover of black-letter lore. Though 
the obsoleteness of the style may occasion sad 
stumbling to a modern reader, yet the class to which 
it rightly belongs will value it accordingly; both 
because it is curious in its details, and possesses 
philological importance. To the general reader 
it presents one feature of interest, viz. the reference 
to Wayland Smith, whom Sir W. Scott has invested 
with so much interest." — Metropolitan Magazine.

"Among the specimens of Cumberland Verse will he 
found some true poetry, if not the best ever written 
in the language of rural life this side the Scotch 
Borders. The writers seem to have caught in their 
happiest hours inspiration from the rapt soul of 
Burns. Anderson's touching song of wedded love, 
1 The Days that are geane,' is a worthy answer for 
a husband to Burn's 'John Anderson my Jo.'" — 
Gent's. Magazine. 
"No other two counties in England have so many 
pieces, both in prose and verse, illustrative of the 
manners and customs of the inhabitants, and written 
in their own native dialect. The philologist will 
find numerous examples of words and phrases which 
are obsolete in the general language of England, 
or which have been peculiar to Westmorland and 
Cumberland from time immemorial. Nor are the 
pieces uninteresting in other respects. Some of 
the patois verses are rich in the true spirit and 
vigour of poetry." — Metropolitan. 
"A charming volume: it contains some beautiful poetical 
effusions, as well as characteristic sketches in 
prose." — Archaeologist. 

The Yorkshire Dialect, exemplified 

in various Dialogues, Tales, and Songs, applicable to 
the County, with a Glossary. Post 8vo, Is. 
" A shiling book worth its money ; most of the pieces 
of composition are not only harmless, but good 
and pretty. The eclogue on the death of ' Awd 
Daisy,' an outworn 1 horse, is an outpouring of some 
of the best feelings of the rustic mind ; and the 
addresses to riches and poverty have much of the 
freedom and spirit of Burns."

of Provincial and Local Words used in England, with 
which is now first incorporated the Supplement by 
SAMUEL PEGGE, F.S.A. Post 8vo, elegantly printed, 
cloth. As. 6d. 

The utility of a Provincial Glossary to all persons 
desirous of understanding our ancient poets is so univer- 
sally acknowledged, that to enter into a proof of it would 
be entirely a work of supererogation. Grose and Pegge 
are constantly referred to in Todd's " Johnson's

Poems of Rural Life, in the Dorset 

Dialect, with a Dissertation and Glossary. By

A fine poetic feeling is displayed through the various

has appeared equal to it since the time of Burns; the 

Gent.'s Magazine' for Dec. 1844, gave a review of the 
volume some pages in length.

Heraldry, Topography, Numismatics, and 
Archaeology. 

The Curiosities Of Heraldry, with Illustrations from Old English Writers. 

By MARK ANTONY LOWER, Author of "Essays on English Surnames;" with Illuminated Title-page, and 
numerous Engravings from designs by the Author. Quo, cloth, gules, appropriately ornamented, or, 14s. 
This work is one of the principal authorities made use of by the compiler of Parker's recently published 
" Glossary of Heraldry," which is printed uniformly with it, and similarly illustrated. The two works should 
accompany each other. For the student of the " Noble Science," a treatise like Parker's is necessary for matters of 
detail, while one who wishes for a copious, continuous, and philosophical view of Heraldry, and its connexion with 
the history and manners of the middle ages, will be amply gratified by a perusal of the " Curiosities of Heraldry." 
"The present volume is truly a worthy sequel (to the 'Surnames') in the same curious and antiquarian 
line, blending with remarkable facts and intelligence, such a fund of amusing anecdote and illustration, that 
the reader is almost surprised to find that he has learnt so much, whilst he appeared to be pursuing mere 
entertainment. The text is so pleasing that we scarcely dream of its sterling value ; and it seems as if, in 
unison with the woodcuts, which so cleverly explain its points and adorn its various topics, the whole design 
were intended for a relaxation from study, rather than an ample exposition of an extraordinary and 
universal custom, which produced the most important effect upon the minds and habits of mankind." — 
Literary Gazette. 
" Mr. Lower's work is both curious and instructive, while the manner of its treatment is so inviting and popular, 
that the subject to which it refers, which many have hitherto had too good reason to consider meagre and 
unprofitable, assumes, under the hands of the writer, the novelty of fiction with the importance of historical 
truth." — Athcnc&um. 

English Surnames. A Series of Essays on Family Nomenclature, Historical, 

Etymological, and Humorous; with Chapters on Canting Arms, Rebuses, the Roll of Battel Abbey, a List 
of Latinized Surnames, &c. By MARK ANTONY LOWER. The second edition, enlarged, post 8vo, pp. 
292, with 20 woodcuts, cloth, 6s. 
To those who are curious about their patronymic, it will be found a very instructive and amusing volume — 
i mingling wit and pleasantry, with antiquarian research and historical interest. 

"An instructive and amusing volume, which ought to be popular. Perhaps no subject is more curious than the 
history of proper names. How few persons are there who have not on one occasion or other been struck 
with the singular names which have fallen under their own observation, and who have not sought for infor- 
mation as to their origin ? Yet we know of no work of any value, much more a popular work, which treats 
on the subject. Mr. Lower has written a very good and well-arranged book, which we can with confidence 
recommend to our readers." — ArchtBologist. 

A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Extinct and Dormant 

Baronetcies of England, Ireland, and Scotland. By J. BURKE, Esq. and J. B. BURKE, Esq. Medium 8vo, 
Second Edition. 638 closely printed pages, in double columns, with about 1000 arms engraved on wood, fine portrait 
of James I, and illuminated title-page, extra eloth, 11. 8s. reduced to TOs. 
This work, which has engaged the attention of the Authors for several years, comprises nearly a thousand 
families, many of them amongst the most ancient and eminent in the kingdom, each carried down to its representa- 
tive or representatives still existing, with elaborate and minute details of the alliances, achievements, and fortunes, 
generation after generation, from the earliest to the latest period. The work is printed to correspond precisely with 
the last edition of Mr. Burke's Dictionary of the Existing Peerage and Baronetage ; the armorial bearings are engiaved 
in the best style, and are incorporated with the text as id that work.

I Pedigrees of the Nobility and Gentry of Hertfordshire. By WILLIAM 

BERRY, late and for fifteeen years Registering Clerk in the College of Arms, Author of the " Encyclopaedia 
Heraldica," &e. &e. Folio (only 125 printed), bds. 31. 10s. reduced to 1/. 5s. 
"These Collections of Pedigrees will be found of great utility, though not of sufficient proof in themselves to 
establish the claims of kindred set forth in them : but affording a ready clue to such necessary proof whenever 
it should be required, by pointing out the places of nativity, baptism, marriages, and burials, and such other 
legal documents, as localities will otherwise afford, and the modern entries in the Herald's College, are of no 
better authority, requiring the very same kind of proof for legal purposes. This observation will perhaps 
silence the ill-natured remarks which have emanated from that quarter: and it is self-evident that the 
printing of 250 copies is a much safer record than one manuscript entry there, which might easily be 
destroyed." — Preface.

The Local Historian's Table-Book' of Remarkable Occurrences, Historical 

Facts, Traditions, Legendary and Descriptive Ballads, &c. &c, connected with the Counties of Newcastle- 
on-Tyne, Northumberland, and Durham. By M. A. RICHARDSON. Royal 3vo, profusely illustrated 
with woodcuts, now Complete in 8 vols, royal 8vo, cloth, 9s. each, or the Divisions sold separately as follows: 
HISTORICAL DIVISION, 5 vols. LEGENDARY DIVISION, 3 vols. 

The legendary portion will be found very interesting volumes by those who take no interest in the Historical portion. 
" This chronology of local occurrences, from the earliest times when a date is ascertainable possesses an especial 
interest for the residents of the Northern Counties ; but, inasmuch as it records Historical events as well as 
trivial incidents, and includes Biographical notices of men whose fame extended beyond their birth-places, it is 
not without a value to the general reader. The work is divided into two portions, the larger consisting of the 
chronicle, and the lesser of the traditions and ballads of the country. Some of these are very characteristic 
and curious; they invest with poetic associations almost every ruin or plot of ground ; and the earlier legends 
of moss-troopers and border-strifes afford an insight into the customs and state of society in remote periods. 
The handsome pages are illustrated with woodcuts of old buildings and other antiquities." — Spectator. 

History Of Banbury, in Oxfordshire, including Copious Historical and Anti- 
quarian Notices of the Neighbourhood. By ALFRED BEESLEY. Thick 8vo, 684 closely printed pages, with 
66 woodcuts, engraved in the first style of art, by O. Jewitt, of Oxford, (pub. at 1/. 5s.) now reduced to 14s. 
■• The neighbourhood of Banbury is equally rich in British, Roman, Saxon, Norman, and English Antiquities, of 
all which Mr. Beesley has given regularly cleared accounts. Banbury holds an important place in the history 
of the Parliamentary War of the Seventeenth Century, and was the scene of the great Battle of Edghill, 
and of the important tight of Cropredy Bridge. Relating to the events of that period, the author has 
collected a great body of local information of the most interesting kind. By no means the least valuable part 
of Mr. Beesley's work, is his account of the numerous interesting early churches, which characterize the 
Banbury district." — The Archaeologist. 
J. R. SMITH having bought the whole stock of the above very interesting volume, invites the Subscribers to com- 
plete their copies in parts without delay, the price of which will be (for a short time) Is. 6d., instead of 2s. Qd.

M.A., F.S.A., Member of the Archaeological Institute, &c, Author of the " Hall of John Halle," and other 

works, 12mo, plates, cloth, 5s. 
<• Mr. Duke has been long honourably known as a zealous cultivator of our local antiquities. His collections on this 
subject, and on the literature of Wiltshire, are nowhere surpassed; while his residence on the borders of the 
Plain, and within reach of our most interesting remains, has afforded scope to his meritorious exertions. The 
work before us is the fruit of long study and ki&orious investigation." — Salisbury Journal. 

A Critical Dissertation on Professor Willis's "Architectural History of Canter-

" Written in no quarrelsome or captious spirit : the highest compliment is paid to Professor Willis, where it is due. 
But the author has certainly made out a clear case, in some very important instances, of inaccuracies that 
have led the learned Professor into the construction of serious errors throughout. It may be considered as 
an indispensable companion to his volume, containing a great deal of extra information of a very curious 
kind." — Art- Union.

"Illustrations! And here they are; clever pictures which the three-year olds understand before their A, B, 
C, and which the fifty-three year olds like almost as well as the threes." — Literary Gazette. 

" We are persuaded that the very rudest of these jingles, tales, and rhymes, possess a strong imagination- 
nourishing power ; and that in infancy and early childhood a sprinkling of ancient nursery lore is worth 
whole cartloads of the wise saws and modern instances which are now as duly and carefully concocted 
by experienced litterateurs, into instructive tales for the spelling public, as are works of entertainment for 
the reading public. The work is worthy of the attention of the popular antiquary." — Tail's Mag. 

The public are cautioned against other works with imitative titles, which have been published since the second 
edition of the above, and which are mostly pirated from it. Mr. Halliwell's is the largest collection of these

read it now it is to be had at so very moderate a price, and it really contains a good deal of gossiping matter. 
The author's attempt is to explain everything from the Dutch, which he believes was the same language as the 
Anglo-Saxon.

These tales are supposed to have been composed in the early part of the sixteenth century, by Dr. Andrew Borde,

Saint Patrick's Purgatory ; an Essay on the Legends of Purgatory, Hell, and 

Paradise, current during the Middle Ages. By THOMAS WRIGHT, M.A., F.S.A. , &c. Post 8vo, cloth, 6s. 

" It must be observed, that this ii not a mere account of St. Patrick's Purgatory, but a complete history of 
the legends and superstitions renting to the subject, from the earliest times, rescued from old MSS. as 
well as from old printed books. Moreover, it embraces a singular chapter of literary history, omitted by 
Warton and all former writers wit A whom we are acquainted ; and we think we may add, that it forms the 
best introduction to Dante that has yet been published." — Literary Gazette. 

" This appears to be a curious and even amusing book on the singular subject of Purgatory, in which the idle and 
fearful dreams of superstition are shown to be first narrated as tales, and then applied as means of deducing 
the moral character of the age in which they prevailed." — Spectator.
